Roc Raida in Pepsi Commercial
I'm not sure when this fun commercial came out, though it appears to be from 2006, but it's a good to know he was getting some of that Pepsi money!

Pharrell Williams - I'm a PC Commercial
These new "I'm a PC" commercials are doing a nice job of undermining Apple's binary assault on Windows users. Hey, they're complex, interesting people too! Just like us Mac users.
Your move, Apple.

Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass - EPK
Since I'm assuming that really smart creative people were involved in the making of this video, I won't pull any punches and say it's almost a total waste of time. I only watched it all the way through out of a peculiar sense of professional obligation.
It's not funny but maybe the hardcore fan base will enjoy Aesop Rock in the role of pretentious artist. There doesn't seem to be any music from the album and, since Aesop Rock is capable of making not so good albums, let's just hope it's a good one. In the absence of any actual audio snippets, no doubt considered a witty move back at the lab, we can just assume that it will be at least as good as was this skit. Ha ha.
Calling it an EPK or Electronic Press Kit points to this video's failings rather than whatever might be its strengths given that a video full of filler dramatic material isn't designed to make information for the press very accessible.
Aesop Rock, None Shall Pass, Def Jux, Aug. 28.
